    lol, honestly...i think the talks about race need to be focused more on the middle-eastern people. whoever becomes president should create and distribute uniforms to the Terrorist (we are having a war on terrorism right?). maybe then all of this new-found middle-eastern racism won't be so popular, and our troops could kill the right people. i know it's not possible...but it would be nice!

    I'm not much into politics and rarely watch anything about so I don't want to make myself sound like a asshat. I'm not much into racism either. From my understanding of reading the 'news' on AOL news, it seemed interesting to me that white people are more 'willing' (i guess is the word for it) into what the candidate is wanting to do, instead of what race he is, while the 'blacks' are seemingly less interested in what they will do, and more into what he is.

    I may have interpreted it wrong, its just how i read it.

    I have my oppinions on racism like everyone else and where i stand i don't hate/dislike anyone because of their race. I'm not going to get into details about racism because I don't want to get into with anyone. I just wanted to share this info and see how ya'll took it in as well.

    To be fair the AOL straw polls had Hillary winning all of the primary states, I don't think AOL hits the demographic like you would think. (AOL's users tend to be older in age) Take a poll from say.. CNN or MSNBC and I would be interested to if the figures remain the same.
